LOCATION OF YOUR GRILL

• Your Ducane® Gas Grill is manufactured for outdoor use only! Any grill, charcoal or gas, produces carbon monoxide while in operation and the gas should not be allowed to accumulate in a confined area. Never operate this grill inside a building or any enclosed area such as your home, garage or recreational vehicle.

• When locating your grill, choose a safe outdoor location away from flammable or combustible surfaces and out of traffic paths. Ducane® strongly recommends a 24" clearance to combustible surfaces and 120" (10 feet) to any fuel containers or propane cylinders.

• Consult your local codes for possible additional restrictions on location or operation of your grill.

• As your grill uses gas, it requires air to burn properly. Do not locate your grill in such manner to obstruct the flow of circulation and ventilation air around the grill.

• When possible, adjust your grills’ position to reduce the likelihood of wind blowing onto it.

 CAUTION: Never operate your grill under any overhead

combustible construction.

 CAUTION: This grill is not intended to be installed in or

attached to a recreational vehicle. It is also not intended to be installed in or on a boat.

 WARNING: For your safety, do not store or use gasoline or

other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Failure to follow this warning could lead to a fire, explosion and bodily harm.

ASSEMBLY

Make sure your grill is assembled properly. Detailed assembly instructions are packed with each grill giving specific assembly procedures for each model. Follow these instructions carefully to ensure the correct and safe assembly of the grill.

LEVELING

It is important for the proper operation of the grill that it be located on a level surface.

TYPE OF GAS

Your natural gas grill is factory built to operate using natural gas only. Never attempt to operate your grill on gases other than the type specified on the grill rating plates. Your grill operates at 7" of water column pressure. If replacement of the hose becomes necessary, factory specified parts are required. See your local dealer.

For safety and design reasons, the conversion of a Ducane Natural gas to operation using LP gas requires the change out of the entire gas supply system of the grill. If this becomes necessary, see your dealer for additional information.

grill from operation using

WHAT IS NATURAL GAS?

Natural gas, often called methane, is a safe modern fuel. Natural gas is supplied by your local utility and should be readily available if your house is already heated with gas.

PORTABLE INSTALLATION

Limited portability can be afforded to the grill head when mounted on the portable cart. All grill heads mounted on this portable cart and cabinet model grills so equipped can be moved about 10 feet away from the main gas supply. Ducane recommends moving the grill at least two (2) feet from the gas supply and any combustible surfaces.

After the gas supply has been run and checked for leaks in accordance to the assembly instructions, you are ready to grill. To connect the hose to the gas supply, pull back the outer fitting, insert the hose fitting all of the way, and release the outer fitting. This process will produce a gas joint.

Follow special storage instructions located in the Helpful Hints section of this manual for proper care of your grill and its gas hose.

NATURAL GAS INSTALLER’S GUIDE

This guide is a recommendation for natural gas installations. It advises the installer as to the size tubing that is necessary on a natural gas installation depending on how far the grill is located from the house. All tubing should be anticorrosive tin-lined copper or an AGA-approved alternate. Operating pressure of the grill is 7" water column pressure. This should be verified after the installation is complete. Comparable sized black iron pipe is also acceptable for natural gas lines.

GAS LEAK CHECKS

Before operating your grill, check carefully to be certain that all connections are tight and there are no gas leaks. Never use a match or flame for leak detection. Use soapy water or testing solution. Brush the solution on to connection points and look closely for bubbles indicating escaping gas. If leaks are detected, shut off the main gas supply valve and securely retighten connections, then repeat the leak test.

 CAUTION: The appliance and its individual shut off valve

must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

 CAUTION: The appliance must be isolated from the gas

supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

 WARNING: Never use an open flame when testing for gas

leaks! Use of an open flame may result in serious bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing damage to property.

NORMAL OPERATION

BREAKING IN YOUR GRILL

When firing your grill for the first time, it is advisable to run the Main Burner(s) on “HI” for 20 minutes with the hood down and then turn the Main Burners “OFF”. Next, run the Rotisserie Burner (if so equipped) on “HI” for 20 minutes with the hood down, then turn the Rotisserie Burner “OFF”. This tempers the grill.

LIGHTING YOUR GRILL  WARNING: Before each use of your grill it is important to

inspect the full length of the gas line hose. If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, the hose must be replaced prior to the appliance being put into operation.

PREHEATING GRILL

It is extremely important that your grill be up to temperature before you begin using it. After lighting, close the lid and preheat the grill on “HI” for 10 minutes. This preheating will ensure that the cooking grid is hot enough for proper grilling.

 WARNING: Never leave a grill unattended to guard against

possible grease fires getting out of control. Grease fires can be severe and cause grill damage, property damage and bodily harm.

CLOSE LID FOR GRILLING

We recommend always cooking with your lid CLOSED if you are in a windy area or colder climate. Your Ducane maximum flexibility and cooking performance. Be creative, try different cooking methods on your grill to determine what suits your needs best…there is no “right” or “wrong” way to cook…just different individual styles.

 DANGER: Make sure that the lid is in the full open postion

any time you attempt to light your grill. Failure to open the lid could lead to delayed ignition which may result in serious bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing damage to property.

Check your parts list or your authorized dealer for the proper replacement hose assembly. For base cabinet model grills, it will be necessary to go behind your grill to check the hose.

POST HEATING GRILL

In order to assist cleaning your cooking grid and to completely vaporize remaining juices, post-heat grill for 10 minutes with the burners on “HI” and the lid closed.

 CAUTION: Do not cover the cooking grate during the post

heating period.

After the post heating of your grill is completed turn the control knobs to the “OFF” position.

FOR NATURAL GAS GRILLS AND SYSTEM PROPANE

It is also advisable to turn off the Natural Gas or System Propane gas supply at the main cut-off valve when your grill is not in use.

 WARNING: Please remember that this is an outdoor gas

cooking appliance. Many areas of the grill generate extreme heat. We have taken every precaution to protect you from the contact areas. However, it is impossible to isolate all high-temperature areas. Therefore, use good judgment and a certain degree of caution when grilling on this product. We suggest a covered, protected hand during operation of grill. Do not move your grill when it is in operation or hot to the touch. Wait until your unit is turned off and properly cooled down before moving from place to place. Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury.

MAIN BURNER IGNITION

Follow the simple steps listed below to light the Main Burner(s) of your grill:

1) Open the lid and make sure that all burners are in the “OFF” position.

2) Turn main gas supply on.

3) Push in selected MAIN BURNER control knob and turn to “HI”.

4) Push in the electronic ignition button. If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn the burner control(s) “OFF”, wait 5 minutes and repeat the lighting procedure.

5) Verify selected Main Burner(s) has ignited by visual inspection of a flame.

 WARNING: If ignition still does not occur, turn control knob

OFF and wait 5 minutes before manually lighting the burner with match. See Match Lighting instructions.
